Berg Esenwein, who wrote the preface and some of the “thought questions” at the end of chapters, the audiobook remains a valuable asset in classes on public speaking.

Donald Curtis was an outstanding leader in the New Thought movement for over 20 years. He was the senior minister of the Unity Church of Dallas. There, and through his radio and television programs, he ministered to and inspired thousands. Dr. Curtis' broad background and universal approach to spiritual matters made him welcome in all religious groups. He was also a prolific and bestselling author and lecturer. Among his other titles are: Your Thoughts Can Change Your Life, Human Problems and How to Solve Them, and The Golden Bridge.
Dr. Curtis himself gives the best summary of this audiobook when he says, 'This book is your personal 'do it yourself' construction kit. You are to use it to build for yourself a richer, fuller life. This is the greatest construction job which you will ever have the opportunity to undertake - building your own life. Your life is what you make it: For most of us, the task of life construction involves considerable reconstruction. Before we can build a solid structure, we must first clear away the debris of old ideas and habits. That is where this audiobook comes in. It contains the tools by which you change your consciousness, and therefore your life, from negative to positive. When this is done, there is no limit to the power and the joy of your constructive living.'

In 1899 Freud wrote a revolutionary work in the new field of Psychoanalysis called, The Interpretation of Dreams. The book was so full of technical details and involved so many case studies, however, that ordinary people had great difficulty understanding it. Twenty-one years later, he published this shorter version. Dr. Andre Tridon, who wrote the introduction to the new book, explains it this way, “Freud himself, however, realized the magnitude of the task which the reading of his magnum opus imposed upon those who have not been prepared for it by long psychological and scientific training and he abstracted from that gigantic work the parts which constitute the essential of his discoveries. The publishers of the present book deserve credit for presenting to the reading public the gist of Freud's psychology in the master's own words, and in a form which shall neither discourage beginners, nor appear too elementary to those who are more advanced in psychoanalytic study. Dream psychology is the key to Freud's works and to all modern psychology. With a simple, compact manual such as Dream Psychology, there shall be no longer any excuse for ignorance of the most revolutionary psychological system of modern times.'

In The Mastery of Destiny, he delves even farther into the themes in that famous work, the ideas that concentrations, willpower and motivation can lead to happiness and prosperity. Above Life's Turmoil: James Allen wrote this little book eight years after the phenomenal success of As a Man Thinketh. His forward gives an apt description of the book: 'We cannot alter external things, nor shape other people to our liking, nor mould the world to our wishes but we can alter internal things - our desires, passions, thoughts - we can shape our liking to other people, and we can mould the inner world of our own mind in accordance with wisdom, and so reconcile it to the outer world of men and things. The turmoil of the world we cannot avoid, but the disturbances of mind we can overcome. The duties and difficulties of life claim our attention, but we can rise above all anxiety concerning them. Surrounded by noise, we can yet have a quiet mind; involved in responsibilities, the heart can be at rest; in the midst of strife, we can know the abiding peace. The 20 pieces which comprise this book, unrelated as some of them are in the letter, will be found to be harmonious in the spirit, in that they point the reader towards those heights of self-knowledge and self-conquest which, rising above the turbulence of the world, lift their peaks where the heavenly silence reigns.”

The author offers concise and practical ways to focus the incredible power of the mind through concentration and the power of positive belief, and through having courage and confidence in your own ability to succeed. 'As an author myself, I am almost finished with this book and love it. We all have that inner being inside of us that whispers 'You're better than this life you lead at this present moment.' That is our higher power! This book was written before The Secret, before How to Win Friends and Influence People. Read the book! POWERFUL.' - Lori L. Rhodes

'The Fun of Getting Thin': This is an entertaining and inspiring story about one man's 'journey into fat' and how he was able to reverse that course and get back to his ideal weight. Written many years ago, it's fascinating to hear that people had the same struggles then as now with weight control and that there were just as many commercial diets and exercise plans vying for their attention - and cash. He decided to devise a common sense plan of his own. As he says, it might work for you but he makes no guarantees. At the very least, it should help motivate you to devise your own plan to lose weight and make life fun again. 'Cutting It Out': Using the same common sense approach that worked so well in his enormously successful book 'The Fun of Getting Thin,' Samuel G. Blythe focused this time on how, for his health's sake, he gave up alcohol. This story of his success is full of inspiration, humor and practical advice and, as he says, it 'just might work' for you as well.

To quote the author, this book is, “For those who want health, and who want a practical guide and handbook, not a philosophical treatise. It is an instructor in the use of the universal Principle of Life, and my effort has been to explain the way in so plain and simple a fashion that the reader, though he may have given no previous study to New Thought or metaphysics, may readily follow it to perfect health.”
